The grammar of this language is still but very little known. The conjugations of verbs are said to be very intricate and difficult, a great variety of verbal forms being from the same root as in Hebrew, by means of preformatives. Number and person in the verbs are marked by suffixes--the third person singular (masculine) by _bi_ (compare Gonga _bi,_ “he”), or _ani_ (compare Galla _enni,_ “he”), the third person plural by _bi-nini_. The accusative case in nouns is marked by a postposition, _ku_, as in Hindustani. The plural of pronouns and substantives is formed sometimes by reduplication. Thus _ni_ is “him,” while _nini_ is “them;” and _Chanaan, Yavnan, Libnan_ seem to be plural forms from _Chna, Yavan_ and _Liban_. A curious anomaly occurs in the declension of pronouns.’ When accompanied by the preposition kita, “with,” there is a tmesis of the preposition, and the pronouns are placed between its first and second syllable; e.g. vi, him’’-ki-ni-ta, “with him.” This takes place in every number and person, as the following scheme will show:-- 1st person. 2d person. 3d person. Sing. _ki-mu-ta_ _ki-zu-ta_ _ki-ni-ta_ (with me) (with thee) (with him) Plur. _ki mi-ta_ _ki zu-nini-ta_ _ki-nini-ta_ (with us) (with you) (with them)
